These fascinating photographs and illustrations show how the factory buildings were developed and how display and retailing have changed over the years. Although the factory site has been sold the foot print of the restored buildings remains the same and they have been named after the processes that were carried out in them such as ‘The Slip House’, ‘Throwing House’ and ‘The Gilding House’.
